HTML filter comparison essay

Yeah, I wrote it, and it's a not-so-subtle piece of advocacy for my library, but I'd like some people to read it, and comment on the arguments presented in it, as well as do some quick proofreading. :-P

Do be truthful, I didn't do as comprehensive a code survey for kses as i did for some of the other libraries. However, I think its procedural style is grounds for asserting that there are bugs in the processor.
Call for a flamewar there. That's no-no if you want to be taken seriously.

Duly noted. Somehow, that didn't come out right.

Have you ever thought of a table to use as your outline? It is very difficult to effectively compare the packages without seeing them side-by-side (at least for my sorry keester).

Overall, very well written. It's a persuasive essay, so the reader would definately want to use HTML Purifier. One thing I noticed (that may be obvious to other readers) is how the other libraries handle the additional features HTML Purifier does. UTF-8, etc.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Yeah, I could do that.

Not sure I understand. Should I explain how each of the packages deals with UTF-8?
